Download or read book Dismissed written by Todd McMurtry and published by Kimemasu. This book was released on 2024-06-08 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We’re told Justice should be blind. We’ve been taught that “The Truth will set you free.” But is that the world in which we find ourselves? Cancel culture, biased narratives, mainstream media, and giant corporations; these are the mindsets and special interests that have ferociously aligned in a force that silences and punishes the common citizen. Historically, the Justice System has been the entity to stand in the gap to ensure citizens aren’t overpowered. But is that still the case? Through the lens of defamation law, “Dismissed” serves as an examination of how the justice system has been taken over by political maneuvering and American citizens are suffering. The book delves into high-profile defamation cases, revealing how the rich and powerful use litigation to stifle dissent and control public perception. The impact of social media on modern defamation law cannot be overstated. As platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram become battlegrounds for public opinion, the lines between personal expression and legal liability blur. "Dismissed" explores how online reputations are made and destroyed in an instant, and how the courts are struggling to keep up with the pace of digital communication. The book provides a critical look at the role of tech giants in moderating content and their influence on the legal landscape. Furthermore, "Dismissed" addresses the growing concern of judicial bias and the politicization of the bench. Through meticulous research and compelling narratives, the book argues that partisan interests and campaign contributions are compromising the integrity of the judiciary. Readers will gain insight into the ways judges are appointed and the impact of their rulings on the fabric of American democracy. This book is a call to action for legal reform and the protection of individual rights. At its core, "Dismissed" is a powerful commentary on the state of justice in America. It challenges readers to question the status quo and to advocate for a legal system that truly serves the people. By shining a light on the misuse of defamation law, the book aims to inspire change and restore faith in the principle that justice should be impartial and accessible to all. Todd V. McMurtry is an accomplished trial attorney, and skilled mediator committed to professional excellence. His involvement in nationally recognized defamation cases and his expertise as a mediator for commercial disputes have cemented his reputation as a leading legal authority, frequently collaborating with local counsel nationwide. He has represented prominent public figures in defamation actions, secured retractions for high-profile clients, and achieved significant victories in arbitration and jury trials. His notable successes include defending a national bank against complex allegations, managing multi-million-dollar failures of insurance funds, and winning a medical malpractice jury trial.

Download or read book Reclaiming Motherhood from a Culture Gone Mad written by Samantha N. Stephenson and published by Our Sunday Visitor. This book was released on 2022-10-13 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the midst of a culture that is increasingly confused about sexuality, love, life, and our very identity as persons, the Church offers us the truth of who we are. For women, this truth is rooted in motherhood — not just biological but, even more, spiritual — because women are the bearers and nurturers of life. Yet it’s difficult to understand and defend the true value of motherhood when the lies that permeate secular culture have seeped into our own way of thinking, even in the Church. Reclaiming Motherhood from a Culture Gone Mad helps Catholics to peel back societal assumptions to understand the fundamental misconceptions fueling our culture’s attacks on marriage, motherhood, and the family. Examining current practices in light of these faulty assumptions will empower women in their own motherhood and equip Catholics to combat the culture of confusion by boldly proclaiming God’s vision for our lives. This book offers a deep dive into what the Church teaches on motherhood and its dignity, equipping us to understand the WHY behind those teachings. It is only by living within a vision that honors the self-gift of motherhood as the pinnacle of womanhood that love, and not self-interest, can begin to reorder our lives.
Download or read book White Fragility written by Dr. Robin DiAngelo and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2018-06-26 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times best-selling book exploring the counterproductive reactions white people have when their assumptions about race are challenged, and how these reactions maintain racial inequality. In this “vital, necessary, and beautiful book” (Michael Eric Dyson), antiracist educator Robin DiAngelo deftly illuminates the phenomenon of white fragility and “allows us to understand racism as a practice not restricted to ‘bad people’ (Claudia Rankine). Referring to the defensive moves that white people make when challenged racially, white fragility is characterized by emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and by behaviors including argumentation and silence. These behaviors, in turn, function to reinstate white racial equilibrium and prevent any meaningful cross-racial dialogue. In this in-depth exploration, DiAngelo examines how white fragility develops, how it protects racial inequality, and what we can do to engage more constructively.
Download or read book Arab and Arab American Feminisms written by Rabab Abdulhadi and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-05 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection, Arab and Arab American feminists enlist their intimate experiences to challenge simplistic and long-held assumptions about gender, sexuality, and commitments to feminism and justice-centered struggles among Arab communities. Contributors hail from multiple geographical sites, spiritualities, occupations, sexualities, class backgrounds, and generations. Poets, creative writers, artists, scholars, and activists employ a mix of genres to express feminist issues and highlight how Arab and Arab American feminist perspectives simultaneously inhabit multiple, overlapping, and intersecting spaces: within families and communities; in anticolonial and antiracist struggles; in debates over spirituality and the divine; within radical, feminist, and queer spaces; in academia and on the street; and among each other. Contributors explore themes as diverse as the intersections between gender, sexuality, Orientalism, racism, Islamophobia, and Zionism, and the restoration of Arab Jews to Arab American histories. This book asks how members of diasporic communities navigate their sense of belonging when the country in which they live wages wars in the lands of their ancestors. Arab and Arab American Feminisms opens up new possibilities for placing grounded Arab and Arab American feminist perspectives at the center of gender studies, Middle East studies, American studies, and ethnic studies.
Download or read book Seeing Babies in a New Light written by Otto Koester and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-04-04 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeing Babies in a New Light: The Life of Hanus Papousek presents the first in-depth examination of the scientific contributions and life of Hanus Papousek (1922-2000), a leading figure in modern infancy research. The aim is to illuminate the research and ideas of this pediatrician and scholar who was one of the first to examine systematically the world of newborns, a relatively new area of developmental research in the mid-20th century. Papousek's pioneering studies of infants in the early 1950s in Prague are examined to show how his early conditioning studies, together with those of a handful of other researchers in the U.S., shattered prevailing views of infancy in both the East and West. The book also investigates how Papousek and his work, despite Cold War attitudes and restrictions, gradually gained international attention in the early 1960s. In 1970, he left Czechoslovakia to begin a new life in the West, first at Harvard University, and then at the Max-Planck Institute for Psychiatry in Munich. Until his retirement, Papousek published many innovative studies on parent-infant interactions and developed a theory of Intuitive Parenting with his wife, Mechthild. These theoretical and methodological contributions are discussed, as well as contemporary applications to interventions in the area of infant mental health. This book appeals to teachers and professionals working in the fields of developmental psychology, early childhood education, infancy studies, parenting, and the history of psychology--as well as students preparing for careers in these areas.

Download or read book Midnight at the Barrelhouse written by George Lipsitz and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2010-03-03 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considered by many to be the godfather of R&B, Johnny Otis—musician, producer, artist, entrepreneur, pastor, disc jockey, writer, and tireless fighter for racial equality—has had a remarkable life by any measure. In this first biography of Otis, George Lipsitz tells the largely unknown story of a towering figure in the history of African American music and culture who was, by his own description, “black by persuasion.” Born to Greek immigrant parents in Vallejo, California, in 1921, Otis grew up in an integrated neighborhood and identified deeply with black music and culture from an early age. He moved to Los Angeles as a young man and submerged himself in the city’s vibrant African American cultural life, centered on Central Avenue and its thriving music scene. Otis began his six-decade career in music playing drums in territory swing bands in the 1930s. He went on to lead his own band in the 1940s and open the Barrelhouse nightclub in Watts. His R&B band had seventeen Top 40 hits between 1950 and 1969, including “Willie and the Hand Jive.” As a producer and A&R man, Otis discovered such legends as Etta James, Jackie Wilson, and Big Mama Thornton. Otis also wrote a column for the Sentinel, one of L.A.’s leading black newspapers, became pastor of his own interracial church, hosted popular radio and television shows that introduced millions to music by African American artists, and was lauded as businessman of the year in a 1951 cover story in Negro Achievements magazine. Throughout his career Otis’s driving passion has been his fearless and unyielding opposition to racial injustice, whether protesting on the front lines, exposing racism and championing the accomplishments of black Americans, or promoting African American musicians. Midnight at the Barrelhouse is a chronicle of a life rich in both incident and inspiration, as well as an exploration of the complicated nature of race relations in twentieth-century America. Otis’s total commitment to black culture and transcendence of racial boundaries, Lipsitz shows, teach important lessons about identity, race, and power while encapsulating the contradictions of racism in American society.

Download or read book Gin Jesus and Jim Crow written by Brendan J. J. Payne and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2022-04-20 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Gin, Jesus, and Jim Crow, Brendan J. J. Payne reveals how prohibition helped realign the racial and religious order in the South by linking restrictions on alcohol with political preaching and the disfranchisement of Black voters. While both sides invoked Christianity, prohibitionists redefined churches’ doctrines, practices, and political engagement. White prohibitionists initially courted Black voters in the 1880s but soon dismissed them as hopelessly wet and sought to disfranchise them, stoking fears of drunken Black men defiling white women in their efforts to reframe alcohol restriction as a means of racial control. Later, as the alcohol industry grew desperate, it turned to Black voters, many of whom joined the brewers to preserve their voting rights and maintain personal liberties. Tracking southern debates about alcohol from the 1880s through the 1930s, Payne shows that prohibition only retreated from the region once the racial and religious order it helped enshrine had been secured.
Download or read book Escaping the Racism of Low Expectations written by Barbara from Harlem and published by Post Hill Press. This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I was a liberal by default. I asked no questions. I had no answers. I just pulled the lever to vote for Democrats as was expected of me. Most of my fellow Black Americans do not fully understand what the term “liberal” means, or who or what they are voting for. And, in turn they don’t realize how harmful those “liberal” policies are to our freedoms and liberties as Americans. I was born into a culture that believes Black equals Democrat. A broken home, failed marriage, and a feeling of victimization fueled my need for inclusion, which the Democratic Party fulfilled. As an activist and member of the NAACP and Democratic Clubs in Harlem, the men I looked up to—the Rev. Jesse Jackson (whom I also campaigned for), Congressman Charlie Rangel, and Rev. Al Sharpton—reinforced the negative perceptions that shaped my world. But just like false prophets, the false narrative that has been spoon-fed to us by Black leaders, the Black community, the media, and progressive politicians has enslaved Blacks in a victimhood mentality and entitlement mindset. But my eyes were opened to reject victimhood and lack of accountability. My journey has proven to me that when you have clarity of conscience, love of God, and a deep-seated belief in America’s goodness, your life will be enriched and your focus will change to one of accountability.
